Roger Case joins ReWa’s Board of Commissioners

March 26, 2026

An open seat on the Renewable Water Resources (ReWa) Board of Commissioners has been filled by Roger Case, of Fountain Inn. 

Case was the public works director for the City of Fountain Inn for 33 years before retiring in 2021. 

“I look forward to contributing to ReWa’s planning and discussions,” Case said. “I understand how essential wastewater infrastructure is to the region. I hope my experience will support ReWa’s mission and the communities we serve.” 

Case took the seat of Ray Overstreet, who retired from ReWa’s board on Dec. 31, 2025, after 15 years of service. The Laurens County Legislative Delegation submitted Case’s nomination to ReWa’s board to the governor’s office. 

He is resuming Overstreet’s term, which expires Dec. 31, 2026. 

“Roger’s public works leadership gives him a deep understanding of the infrastructure and community needs that shape our region,” said Emily DeRoberts, ReWa’s board chair. “That experience will be an asset as ReWa continues planning and providing reliable and resilient services across the Upstate.” 

ReWa has 11 commissioners who serve the utility’s five-county service area. The governor appoints commissioners to four-year terms.
